Went and got my propane tank refilled at the Valero on east Washington. The guy didn't even check the date.
However, that didn't solve my problem. I can't count on that happening every time. So I shelled out another $50 or so at Friedman's for a full tank that I'll definitely be able to exhange, even though it's even older than my "illegal" one, 2004 compared to 2007. Just goes to show you that the "laws" are meant for the little people, and big corporations like Blue Rhino are seemingly exempt.
Found out that it's easier to carry them on a handtruck laid on their side, stacked one atop another, secured with a strap.
